Also when you say Christians do you mean anyone who follows Christ or something else? I know how people like to lump everyone into one category. Could you maybe be more specific when it comes down to judging "christians" or talking about them. I am baptist, and no not affiliated with the westboro baptist church in anyway, THEY NEED JESUS.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me. Do you have any others you can remember saying?

What is the point of everlasting life? I'm serious! Think about it. What is the point of living forever in Heaven? Are you going to be playing racketball in Heaven for all eternity, sipping Pina Coladas and having breakfast in bed? What is the point of being around for over 1 trillion years potentially?

Since humans naturally fear death, it seems that heaven is just a way to believe you will live on, that death is not final. Just imagine yourself living for 5, 10, 15 trillion years, which is even then, not an eternity. What are you going to do in heaven.....for eternity?

What is the point?

A case to consider:LIFEBOAT morals

A movie entitled Abandon ship depicts in a general way a famous legal cases in American law, U.S. v. Holmes, 26 Fed. Cases 360 (1842). It tells the story of a ship's captain who decided to sacrifice some lives on a life raft. He did so in the face of severe criticism by some of the passengers and at a personal risk to his own life. The lifeboat could hold at its maximum only 14 people; there were 26 people who survived the shipwreck. The situation became desperate when a severe storm arose. There was no immediate hope of rescue; on the contrary, it looked as if help would come only after a number of days or not at all. His decision in the face of severe protest was to put some of the survivors over the side, They were outfitted with life jacket. His criterion for choosing was the "survival of the fittest". He anticipated that there would be a long hard row to land, a journey of maybe several weeks. Thus, he chose those who had to leave the boat:

In this day in age mankind should well understand that all life is equally priceless. Will you not drop your weapons/religions and respect one another as living beings? Will you see someone as a neighbor and not an enemy because of politics and religious teachings? Will you lay down your weapons as I have done and search for peace and enlightenment? I lay my weapons before you at this moment, I shall no longer be a judge but be a living being and enjoy my life. Who among you shall joy me in obtaining your happyness and dreams?

I have noticed on here that if you ask a question relating to a part of the bible, the responses from Christians will often be vastly different. That to me does not say much for its teaching if it allows many different meaning to each part. How can it be the word of god if its so ambivalent? Would a god not have got his message across a little better?

If it was absolutely proven to you the Exodus never happened, would that affect your faith, and do you think it would downplay the significance of the Torah?

This is about Seventh Day Adventist...
conscientious objector...
and MEDAL OF HONOR recipient DESMOND DOSS...
and events that occured during WW2 invasion of Okinawa

"Time to go men," Lieutenant Goronto told his troops. Doss had prayed, finished with his Amen, and the rest would be in the hands of God. The soldiers struggled up the incline, reaching the sheer face that comprised the last fifty feet. Naval cargo nets were used to scale its surface. Upon reaching the summit, Company B was immediately pinned down by heavy enemy fire. To the left Company A was fighting to scale their sector as well. The first five men were killed and casualties mounted to the point that Company A could proceed no further. Headquarters radioed Company B for a report of their own casualties. So far there had been none. So the order was given that Company B would have to take the escarpment themselves.

Isn't taking away religion from society the same as tearing down "the Hover dam"?

"yeah genius, tear down the barrier by doing so we'll be free; the water won't drown us, we'll just get wet"
I'd rather worship the dam than be damned, you know what I mean?

Anyways: tell me why or why not and write your age after your answer.
